I had both

They are hard to compare in my estimation but I will try.

The Torsa 30 is a beast with the ability to change the total drag from light to up to 39lbs maxed out. Its multi dimensional as you can use it to fish almost anything. I caught some big groupers on mine with no problems along wih several large tuna.

Torsa Key points ...It is only a single speed though, an expensive one at that, but it also has the bling factor with the mix of silver and gold and has decent capacity 320+ PE8. In addition it is a lever drag which I prefer

The trinidad 30 was a great reel as well, compact, lightweight but minimal drag without upgrades. The reason why I didnt love the trinidad is it was a star drag and compared to the torsa it had less line capacity.

My honest opinion is to go with a trinidad for bottom fishing or if you want something better try a accurate 665 2 speed which holds as much or more line but is a two speed and $100 dollars cheaper.
